| Record Nlw Test Case |
Click to record a new test case for unit testing this Service SAP rule. After the Simulate SOAP Service Execution window opens, unit test the rule, and then save that run as a test case. See How to Unit Test a Service SOAP Rule for more information. |
| Invalid Test Cases |
Click to get a report of any test cases saved for this Service SAP rule that might need to be updated or re-recorded. If rules have changed, test cases that were recorded prior to the changes might not return the expected results. Examine the Invalid Test Cases report to see which test cases are affected. When you click this button, the Invalid Test Cases window opens, and you can choose to run the report immediately or to run as a background process and have the results emailed to you. If you run the report immediately, the Test Case window opens and displays the list of test cases. |
